AIDS Walk and Marine Corps Marathon Street Closures

ARLINGTON, VA - OCTOBER 31: Marines stand along the start line as runners line up before the start of the Marine Corps Marathon October 31, 2010 in Arlington, Virginia. Event organizers have requested increased security at the annual 26.2 mile race after the National Museum of the Marine Corps was shot at twice this month by the same weapon used in similar acts at the Pentagon and a vacant Marine Corps recruiting station in Chantily, Virginia.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – There will be plenty of walkers and runners flooding D.C. and Arlington this weekend, so if you’re planning to choose your car over your legs to get around, you’ll want to avoid certain roads.

This Saturday, Oct. 27, the AIDS walk rolls through the city streets, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and lasting until 11:00 a.m., and will partially close Pennsylvania and Constitution Avenues. Traffic will still be able to pass through these streets, but will be slowed.

Sunday brings the real traffic jam, with the introduction of the 37th Marine Corps Marathon to Arlington and D.C. streets.

Also, coinciding with the marathon is the MCM10K, both of which are slated to start at 7:55 a.m. The MCM wheelchair/hand cycle division of the marathon takes off a little sooner – beginning at 7:40 a.m. from Route 110 in Arlington.

The following streets will be affected over the weekend, only partially closed on Saturday, and completely shut off to cars during the designated times below on Sunday. All Marine Corps Marathon proceedings officially shut down at 3 p.m.

The list is long, but a short read now will save you a lot of time this weekend!
